London, 22nd October 2018 - Hitachi Nuclear Energy Europe, Ltd. (Hitachi), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501), today announced the appointment of three additional partners to support delivery of Wylfa Newydd - each one a significant UK employer.
Assuming a successful project outcome, Hitachi will deliver the Nuclear Island and Architect Engineering for the proposed Wylfa Newydd development on the Isle of Anglesey, under contract to Horizon Nuclear Power (also a Hitachi, Ltd. Subsidiary). Atkins, a member of the SNC-Lavalin Group, will support on Civil Engineering design for the Nuclear Island; KBR will work on Project Controls; and Wood, a UK headquartered global engineering firm, will support Architect Engineering.
Hitachi Nuclear Energy Europe Project Director Mr Eric Chassard said: Wood, has been involved in every nuclear new build in UK history. KBR and Atkins are also world leaders in their fields - with clear and proven experience on projects of this scale and complexity. The pedigree, expertise and detailed knowledge of all three partners are second to none.
We are rapidly developing a team of the world's most capable companies as we prepare to deliver the Nuclear Island and Architect Engineering for Wylfa Newydd, and couldn't have found stronger partners to support us.
This is one more step in the UK's growing domestic expertise around UK ABWR technology. A chance for UK workforces to play a role at the heart of technical delivery for the Wylfa Newydd project, and to further spread the economic benefit through the UK supply chain.
Once operational, Horizon's plant at Wylfa Newydd will produce some 2.9GW of clean, secure and affordable electricity - and its development will provide once-in-a-generation economic opportunities for the UK nuclear industry, and the region of North West Wales .
Horizon Nuclear Power is developing plans to build at least 5.8GW of new nuclear power generation plant at Wylfa on the Isle of Anglesey and Oldbury-on-Severn in South Gloucestershire. Its power station sites will employ up to 850 people each once operational with a construction workforce expected to peak at 9,000.
Hitachi Nuclear Energy Europe, Ltd. - in collaboration with Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy, Ltd. - will work under contract to Horizon as Architect Engineer for the project, and as provider of Engineering and Procurement for the Nuclear Island. The Architect Engineer is responsible for design integration and technical consistency across all aspects of the plant.
Each partner will operate directly under contract to Hitachi Nuclear Energy Europe, Ltd. and these contracts reflect the significant work underway to support preparation for construction of the plant.
